Honesty Box

Brand new Charles off his highly mediocre mixtape Intervention, which dropped today. If anything is becoming more clear, it's that the kid can knock a smooth beat and/or love song out of the park, I mean way out; but swings and misses at pretty much everything else.

Just stay in the batting cage Charlie, you'll be a starter soon. The fans and coaches notice hits like this.

Sir Charles

Another ridiculous joint I missed from Charles. I'm a sad hypocrite because Charles is all Ive been listening to all day.

You can have fun with material things, but stop letting that effect what you do creatively.

The L Word

I have to somewhat regrettably retract one of my claims about freshman of the year. Though I didn't include Charles Hamilton in my previous assessment of artists who deserve shine, I'm officially bringing Charles in after listening to his new mixtape The L Word, which dropped today. This is one more creative albums I've heard in a lonnnng minute. Apologies to Esk, you ran the gamut on this brother. We owe you for this one.

Download the entire thing, and it's devotion to the L bomb, below.

Charlamagne Hamilton

Charles Hamilton is:

• Not any of these guys.
• Or this girl.
• From Harlem, but wears a lot of pink.
• Currently halfway through his unprecedented scramble to drop 2 mixtapes every month.
• Just signed to Interscope after his mixtape series blowup.

While I personally have sat on the sidelines for most of this (KRS-One's anthem "Rely on talent not marketing and promotions" seems applicable here), Charles has made enough of an impact on the scene for me to get his new one. And ya, dude lives up to the hype, at least on these two.

C-H-A-R, spittin like an AR.
